Configure mountd to use static port
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Configure the mountd daemon to use a static port as
opposed to letting the RPC Bind service dynamically assign a port. Edit the
file /etc/sysconfig/nfs. Add or correct the following line:
MOUNTD_PORT=statd-portWhere
mountd-port is a port which is not used by any other service on your network.
Rationale
Restricting services to always use a given port enables firewalling to be done more effectively.
